There's a section below Anzac Parade for about 100m that is red gravel (like some driveways, so not coarse at all) which is okay for riding over (especially if you have wider tyres on 'kitty'), but there is a path you can take just above it if you really want to avoid

If it's all paved (apart from a bit of red gravel) that's good. May even consider bringing Tweety in that case.

Haven't decided when I'm coming but planning to visit Floriade in the morning and do some cycling in the afternoon. Nothing fancy, and not keen on joining a bunch since I'll be with a friend on a hybrid so gotta match her pace.

pffffff that's not the cycle way . I always swing off onto the path above it

Ride parts of that on the way home from work on the zipp tubulars so I guess any tyre will be fine. If you are going to get a flat it wont matter what tyres you are running at the time your going to still get it.

Recently picked up a road bike and have started lurking on the forums. Nice to know that you'll be heading up to Canberra - floriade has started so around Lake Burley Griffin might be a slight problem (crowds around some of the areas).

Was down there over the weekend, there's some orange gravelly patches, but I rode over it on my road bike no problem. Ironically I got a flat the minute I got off the Lake and onto the road to go home. ;(

If its not too much trouble, I'd like to meet up with people when you're down here. As a newbie I'm sure I have lots to learn.
